Where to Watch & Stream the 2016 Presidential Debates

On Monday, September 26, the first of three presidential
debates between Democratic nominee former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton
and Republican nominee businessman Donald Trump will occur at Hofstra
University in Hempstead, New York.

The 90-minute showdown will be available for viewing across numerous television
networks and online streaming platforms.

Twitter will be carrying the Bloomberg debate coverage live, which will feature
additional programming from Mark Halperin and John Heilemann.

“Twitter is where the 2016 presidential election is happening every single
day,” said
Anthony Noto, Twitter’s chief financial officer. “Livestreaming the debates
with Bloomberg combined with the live commentary and conversation on Twitter
will create a one-screen experience at the center of the action unlike any
other.”

Facebook Live will be hosting the presidential debates for
the first time in a national election courtesy of a partnership with ABC News.

“We’re excited that ABC News will continue to bring people
on Facebook the full breadth of what is happening, in real-time on the ground
during these important moments in the election cycle,” Andy Mitchell, Director
of News and Global Media Partnerships, Facebook, said
in a press release. “With their robust Facebook Live coverage plans and deep
bench of political journalists, ABC News will help facilitate an open dialogue
among voters and create an engaging and immersive experience from each debate.”

Two hours prior to the debate, an original series entitled “Straight Talk” will
be streamed, and afterward, “Nightline” co-anchor Dan Harris, Digital Host Amna
Nawaz and ABC News contributor LZ Granderson will provide commentary.

In a blog post, YouTube revealed that it will be streaming the debates too.

“Voting also requires you to get educated with the latest
and greatest from the candidates. That’s why we’re also excited to announce
that we’re live streaming the presidential debates from more news organizations
than ever before including PBS, Fox News, The Washington Post, Bloomberg, and
Telemundo,” wrote
YouTube.
